A Light and Tasty Treat: Cider Poached Pears

While Nate was enjoying his birthday cake leftovers for days, I was feeling kind of left out on the dessert-front. It’s not that Nate wouldn’t share his leftovers with me, it’s more that I didn’t think I needed to be eating such a high calorie dessert every night…at least until I start working out regularly again 😦

But I’m the kind of person that needs a little something sweet after meals. I’m pretty sure I can thank my dad for that nasty little habit.

Anyway, I figured if I made a dessert on the heatlhy side, it would satisfy me plenty while Nate chowed down on cake.

As you know, I still have lots of cider in my fridge, so I thought I’d put it to good use. In my search for cider recipes, I came across one for Cider Poached Pears with a Yogurt sauce. I altered it slightly, based on ingredients I had available, and the result was totally delicious.

And the best part is that when Nate walked into the apartment, he said that it smelled “like cider.” What an awesome natural air freshener! And it even made it feel a little closer to fall 🙂

This would be amazing and so great smelling and tasting. I adore cider – I just spent 3 years in the home of cider, Bristol – problem is when I drink it I drink too much :D. What sort of cider did you use? This looks so delicious. Great blog.

oooh, the home of cider! very cool, I have to visit. This is non-alcoholic apple cider. Any brand will do. I happened to have some Trader Joe’s branch Cranberry Apple Cider, hence the reddish tint. Thanks…I hope you’ll stop back soon 🙂
